Is it USAirways's fault that geese flew into the engine? Fark these farking whiny attention whores. Thanks to the quick-thinking of the captain and crew (who were employees of said airline), all of the passengers survived and eventually made it safely to their destinations.

Wow, and here I'd be asking for free airfare for at least a year or more. It's not like the survivors didn't lose most every posession they had on board, including in their checked bags... laptops, computers... and they want to compensate them with something that's completely worthless? No way.

Some of these people are probably irritated that the golden opportunity to drag out a big settlement was offset by a company and employees who did everything humanly possible to avoid a catastrophe.

There were reports of some passengers (this is unsubstantiated, mind you) that were furious when told they would face difficult challenges in litigating against US Airways. It's almost as if they wanted to take a slight injury that they could exploit for millions.

If anything, I would fly US Airways because they performed exemplary in a dangerous situation. The entire company from the stewardesses on up did everything they could. Walking away from something like this is a bigger reward than some of them deserved.

Ok. Look. I understand you went through something traumatic. But the plane getting FOD'd was not their fault. You didn't die. Frankly, getting my money back and getting reimbursed for the trip is all I want. Getting money for my sunken luggage is a bonus. Getting upgrades for a year is extra awesome.
